Sanrio fans now have a new reason to plan a trip to Penang. Iconic Marjorie Hotel in Penang has launched Southeast Asia’s first Peranakan-inspired Sanrio hotel experience, blending beloved characters with the colourful heritage and intricate aesthetics of Peranakan culture.

Designed as more than just a themed stay, the experience transforms an ordinary hotel getaway into a playful escape filled with character-inspired rooms, exclusive treats and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

Guests can choose from 3 uniquely themed room concepts, each centred around a different Sanrio favourite. The Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll and Kuromi rooms each follow their respective character’s signature colour palette and design style, bringing the beloved icons to life through themed decor, furnishings and playful details.

Beyond the themed interiors, the experience continues with a Sanrio-inspired afternoon tea. Expect an assortment of sweet treats, pastries and delicately presented bites that bring the characters to life in edible form.

Each stay also comes with a range of themed welcome amenities and character-inspired details throughout the room. Standard comforts such as a 55-inch Smart TV, minibar, coffee and tea-making facilities, bathrobes, slippers and 24-hour in-room service are included, while suite rooms come with additional perks like a bathtub, evening cocktails and all-day refreshments.
The experience does not end at check-out either. Guests can browse an exclusive collection of Sanrio merchandise, making it easy to bring a piece of the stay home. The lineup includes bathrobes, towels, toiletries, stationery, teapots and other collectible keepsakes inspired by the collaboration.

For anyone who grew up with Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll or Kuromi, this Sanrio-themed hotel stay offers an adorable twist on a Penang getaway. Combined with Peranakan-inspired design, themed afternoon tea and exclusive merchandise, it is a charming experience that goes beyond the typical staycation.
